Cutting of Timber for Domestic Uses
From Public Lands Not Prohibited.

The latest order of Land Commissioner
Sparks on cutting timber from the public
lands is Of some Importance. 1t was
made on the report of a Montana agent,
who stated that ten cords of wood had
been cut by a resident of Glendive for
domestic purposes from the public do
main. The commissioner says in sub
stance:
1T is not the policy of this department
nor would it be creditable TO this admins.
tration to prosecute citizens of the terri
tories for taking small quantities of fire.
wood from vacant public lands for domes-
tic purposes, or for taking from such lands
the timber necessary for the ordinary i'm
provement of their claims, and not for the
purpose OF sale or speculation. While there
is no law authorizing such timber cutting
on agricultural land in Montana, still spe-
cial agents should exercise reasonable dis
erection in regard to the most advantageous
and expedient directions to spend the
small appropriations allotted for this pur-
pose. You will hereafter devote your
attention exclusively to the important
cases coming to your notice and you will
in no case interfere with settlers taking
necessary timber for their domestic, fam
lily and settlement uses"

AT THE sAMPLING WORKS.
A Few Words Concerning the Minerals
in the Country Near cheyenne.

in the Country Near Cheyenne.
A LEADER reporter visited the w. r.
Swan sampling works yesterday and was
shown over the establishment by Prof.
Mark Birmingham, who has charge of
the place. First were exhibited some
rich ores from the Manhattan district,
s~ixty-five miles from the city, at which
place the Manhattan Reduction
composed for the most part of Cheyenne
capitalists, will soon erect works, a portion
of the machinery for the plant having
already been ordered. The specimens are
a%rsenical quartz, humatite and decomposed
oxide from the claim of Tim Hussey.
A piece of float iron quartzite, contain
ing clay and lime, carries from $50 to $40
worth of gold to the ton, and will prove
immensely valuable if found in any Juan
tity.
Some very rich specimens from the
Salisbury mine, Silver Crown, owned by
Messrs. Miller and Bryant, are undergo
ing the assaying process. The ore con

to be of the nature termed free milling.
The machinery used at the smelter is Of
the latest manufacture and comprises a
20 horse power engine, a large furnace, a
small fire clay crucible furnace, a Dodge
crusher, a pulverizer, a concentrator and
numberless other improved appliances,
including a small electric process plant.
Mr.. Birmingham stated that within
thirty days the facilities of the institution
would be so enlarged as to permit the
treatment Of a ton Of ore at each charge
Of the furnace, which is equivalent to
eight or ten o n per day. He expressed
it as his confident beliefthat Silver Crown
would in time become a great camp as
well as the Manhattan district, and that
i'll the event of the reoDening of the Col,
orado Central railway the trade of the
latter place would naturally come to Chey-
enne.

four miles up the hollow Harrison
was stopped by this tramp, who at
